The tip that prevents returns: lay flat a shirt that fits you well, measure it the same way and compare. Vintage often fits differently from new — this 2015 adidas L hangs straight, with a classic cut.

Shirt condition
Excellent condition
Excellent condition for a ten-year-old white shirt: no yellowing at the collar or underarms, no holes, no stains, no bobbling. The red polka-dot trims and the blue band are still vivid, the embroidered OL crest is immaculate (photo 3) and the Hyundai print is crisp. The one point I want to flag: light surface wear on the vinyl of the nameset, visible only very close up in photo 5. The nameset is holding perfectly, with no lifting at the edges — it is the light patina typical of Ligue 1 vinyls from this era.

100% AUTHENTIC
✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life
Every piece is checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If a shirt bought from me is ever identified as a unofficial piece, I refund it in full. Guarantee with no expiry date.
- Original adidas inner label photographed (photo 4): product code S11833 and production date 07/15, consistent with a summer 2015 release. Cross-checkable in the databases.
- Raised embroidered Olympique Lyonnais crest with the lion and gold outline (photo 3), embroidered adidas logo as well
- The wording “Nous sommes l'Olympique Lyonnais” printed inside the collar: a detail specific to that season's official shirts
- Full method: authentication guide
🛠️ Workshop note — Look at the bottom of the digits in photo 5: each one carries an LFP box. That is the mark of the official Ligue 1 nameset from this period, one you never find on a nameset ordered online. And one last detail I like: the red-and-white polka-dot trims on the sleeves and hem, a very recognisable adidas signature from the mid-2010s.
📖 2015-2016: Umtiti's last season in Lyon
Some shirts are worth it for the story they tell. This is Samuel Umtiti's last one at Olympique Lyonnais: a defender raised at the club, about to leave for Catalonia and become a world champion two years later.
📅 January 2016 — OL leave Gerland. Mid-season, the club moved into its new stadium. This shirt was therefore worn in both grounds: the end of the Gerland era and the very first months of the new stadium. A pivotal season in the club's history.
📅 May 2016 — OL on the Ligue 1 podium. Lyon finished the season on the league podium, behind an untouchable PSG. It was also the last year of that home-grown defensive core before the summer departures.
📅 Summer 2016 — off to FC Barcelona. Umtiti left OL for Barcelona after Euro 2016. A Lyon shirt printed with his name can therefore only come from his academy and breakthrough years — a window that closed almost ten years ago.
👑 Samuel Umtiti — raised at Olympique Lyonnais, 2018 World Cup winner with France, and scorer of the header that sent Les Bleus to the final against Belgium. His Lyon shirts, from before the fame, are the ones OL collectors look for first.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. The original adidas label is photographed (photo 4) with product code S11833 and the date 07/15. Raised embroidered OL crest, “Nous sommes l'Olympique Lyonnais” at the collar, nameset in the official Ligue 1 font with LFP boxes. Lifetime authenticity guarantee.
What exactly is the flaw?
Light surface wear on the vinyl of the player nameset, visible only very close up (photo 5, shot in macro). The nameset is not lifting and the edges are intact. It is the only point noted: the fabric, the white, the crest and the sponsor are all immaculate.
What are the small boxes under the digits?
They are the LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel) boxes, built into the official Ligue 1 nameset of this period. A generic nameset bought online never has them: it is the first detail I check on a French league shirt.
How does this adidas shirt fit in size L?
Actual flat measurements: 55 cm pit to pit, 76 cm in length. It is a classic 2010s L, neither slim nor oversized. Compare with a shirt you already wear — more benchmarks in my sizing guide.
Is there only one of these?
Yes. Every shirt I sell is a single piece, photographed exactly as it is. Once this one is gone, it does not come back: I never restock an identical second-hand model.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Dispatched within 48 working hours with tracked Colissimo delivery (€5.99 in mainland France, free from €99.99). International rates and delivery times are detailed in my shipping FAQ. Returns accepted within 14 days if unworn.
